Tom Brady, QB: Deshaun Watson isn’t the only quarterback who showed elusiveness in the pocket on Sunday. Brady showed escapability. Of course, with J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus, Brady could only do so much. Most of the pressure that got to Brady came from his blindside. Brady was otherwise unbelievable passing on the day. He finished 25 of 35 for 378 yards and five touchdown passes. Many of those completions were truly absurd.

Chris Hogan, WR: Hogan has the incredible ability to get wide open on a regular basis. He’s not just getting separation — he looks as if the entire defense has forgotten about him. It’s hard to understand how he busts coverages so often. But whatever he does, it’s working. He finished with four receptions for 68 yards and two touchdown receptions.

Malcolm Butler, CB: Butler started in Week 3 after starting on the bench for Week 2. Eric Rowe was out with a groin injury against the Texans, which left Butler uncontested to regain his standing as a starting cornerback. But Butler held down his own, and was rarely targeted. A quiet day is a good day.

Deatrich Wise, DE: He continues to be a disruptive force in the passing game. He rushed Watson on his interception throw to Stephon Gilmore.

Losers:

Anyone trying to tackle Deshaun Watson: The Texans quarterback showed outstanding escapability. He often tucked to run the ball on designed quarterback running plays. But it wasn’t just his ability to run downfield. He also extended the play with his feet, found open receivers and threw for big gains.

Nate Solder, LT: He got terrorized by the Texans pass rushers. J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney got theirs when working against Solder. Solder also got beaten badly on Brady’s fumble.

Stephon Gilmore, CB: Gilmore got his first interception as a Patriot. But he also gave up 49 penalty yards in the first half. He was also targeted regularly in coverage of Deandre Hopkins. Then in the third quarter, when the team badly needed him, he left with dehydration. He returned, but not before the Texans managed a long touchdown drive.
